“Lar'-on-the-Air”

About the Book

This is the catchphrase used often when announcing who I was on the radio. For example, “Hi, this is Lar’-on-the-Air, Larry McKay, sittin’ in my chair, with all this hair. And how are you out there?” It’s an oft’ times humorous journal of my many adventures over my career, encountering a surprising number of celebrities readers will recognize.

Several interesting photos will be on display too.
